Spring River Ebbsfleet by Marston's Inns

10/10 Excellent

"Quite and clean, nice comfortable bed. Good well lit car motorcycle parking."

ibis London Thurrock M25

10/10 Excellent

"Better to enjoy your coffee there rather than get it to go. The takeaway cups are so small that you end up throwing away half your coffee. They should offer larger takeaway cups to avoid this waste."

King Charles Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I had a lovely stay at the King Charles Hotel. The staff were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the local area, offering great advice on nearby places of interest and attractions. The breakfast was plentiful, with a good selection, and the staff was always courteous and welcoming. Although the rooms were a little dated, they were clean and comfortable. Another bonus was the hotel bar, which offered an array of food choices which was a welcomed convenience after a long day of sightseeing. Overall, the hotel provided a pleasant stay with excellent hospitality. The friendly staff really made a difference, and I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a welcoming base from which to explore the surrounding area."
